This Friday (21), Sesc Flamengo faces Batavo/Mackenzie at Maracanãzinho, at 9 pm, in the last round of the first phase of the Women's Superliga. The red-black team tries to recover from two consecutive defeats and guarantee a place in the G4 before the start of the playoffs.
Libero Laís, one of the highlights of the season and a candidate for the Brazilian National Team, stressed the importance of maintaining confidence even after the recent negative results. According to her, the team has the capacity to perform at a higher level than it has demonstrated recently.
" We're coming off two very difficult games, against two favorites for the title, and we have another tough opponent ahead of us, which is Mackenzie. This is the Superliga. It's about overcoming fatigue, adversity and maintaining confidence in the work. We know our potential and we have every chance of doing better than in the last few games ," said Laís.
The athlete also highlighted the need to remain focused on the strategy outlined by the coaching staff. "We need to be patient, keep up the training pace and put into practice the tactical plan we are drawing up to overcome this challenge in front of our fans, which has been super important," she concluded.

If Rubro-Negro wins in the tie-break, it will be necessary for both Fluminense and Sesi to lose by, at most, 3 sets to 1.
Sesc Flamengo's mission is not simple, mainly because their direct opponents are playing at home and are favorites. However, with a victory and a combination of results , Mengão can reach the G4 and enter the playoffs in a more favorable position.
Mengão defeated the Tijucanas by 3 sets to 1, guaranteeing a place in the Cariocão final, where they will face their rival Fluminense.
